The dealer's son was in our car club "The Creepers" and got me a good deal. That is correct WD, I bought a brand new 54 261 short block in 1959 from a Chevrolet dealer in Electra, Texas.

If you have engine numbers that appear to be factory stamped you can ID the engine as to year model from engine number charts, the prefix initials are good information to tell if an engine is a 1951 or 52 or if it was a standard or powerglide. The car was a powerglide once and some previous owner converted it to a 3 speed standard(1954 transmission) The hole for the clutch peddle is cut with a torch. The machined engine number area ia blank. My 53 Belair 2 door sedan has an 1954 style truck replacement block(solid lifters) and 54 style water pump with a 1956 casting number. In other stated many reolacement blocks were never stamped.

The installation mechanic (if in a Chevrolet dealer shop) would hand stamp the number on the block, in order that the vehicle kept the correct engine number. These numbers can be useful, but I am skeptical of the ones that are hand stamped (uneven) because.in states like Texas that used engine numbers to ID and title vehicles before 1955 it was customery to stamp the original engine number on the machined area which was left blank on a replacement engine or block. The first letter stands for the month are the best ways to ID a motor & they are easy to see if the motor isn't caked with years of grease. The casting date code for the block is located behind the starter.
